诺贝尔化学奖花落德国马普。

马普在我心目中是科研的圣地，特别是他们在光学激光方面的突出表现彻底征服了我。

国外对NOBEL关注的好像没有想像中的热烈，刚才用GOOGLE搜索Gerhard Ertl ，国外很多的大牌媒体（如washingtonpost, times ）都没有列出，排在NO.1的是ABC。也许是他们对待NOBEL没有我们这么痴迷。

下面是FOX的简单报道，删掉了部分内容。

STOCKHOLM, Sweden —  Gerhard Ertl of Germany won the 2007 Nobel Prize in chemistry on Wednesday for studies of chemical reactions on solid surfaces, research that has advanced the understanding of why the ozone layer is thinning.

Ertl's research, starting in the 1960s, also has helped explain how fuel cells work, how catalytic converters clean up exhaust in cars and even why even why iron rusts, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said.

"Surface chemistry can even explain the destruction of the ozone layer as vital steps in the reaction actually take place on the surfaces of small crystals of ice in the stratosphere," the award citation said.

The awards — each worth $1.5 million — will be handed out by Sweden's King Carl XVI Gustaf at a ceremony in Stockholm on Dec. 10.
